I have plan to raise the morale of school teachers for doing more justice to his job. I wish they should realize the tremendous power vested in their profession. They are most powerful class who make nations.
Chanakya, two thousand years ago, proclaimed that teachers have power to make the king and the kingdom. They possess destructive as well as constructive power. He was such a powerful person who had not only spoken but also executed by toppling the rein of King Nanda for freeing the contemporary society from his atrocities and instated a new king for the prosperity of the society. On those days, India was divided in different territories and ruled by different kings independently. They are fighting among each other for demonstrating their power which made defeated king jealous and left them burning for revenge. All the people of this country, irrespective of their rulers are connected by same culture. Kings under the fire of jealousy forgot this fact and invited or assisted foreign rulers to attack on other kings. Such scenario felicitated the victory of Alexander at some parts of country who killed innocent people at mass scale. Chanakya was deeply disappointed by such nonsense behaviour and took oath to free the country and unite the country under one king. He quoted," A country can not be enslaved until his culture is intact". He taught lesson of nationality among the youth and showed the way they should act upon. These students sacrificed their life silently. These sacrifices didn't go in vain but aroused the idle soul of people who later toppled the governments and united themselves under one king, Samrat Chadragupt Maurya.This was not the single story. Krishna was the ancient Guru who still guide us for taking right decision. Tulsidas, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Sikh Gurus etc. are the real teachers who did a lot for making this nation. Hitler, Subhash Chandra Bose all took inspiration from their teachers. Sri sri Ravishankar, Mata Amritamayii and some persons in society who are also playing the role of gurus and trying to inculcate culture among people.
Today we have teachers who are merely a trainers, who train us for making our own lives rather inspiring us for shaping our fate which are not only useful for us but also for the society enriching our culture more and more. God creates this earth and other things. Gurus prepare a cultured person who makes the society a beautiful place to live. This is the reason why gurus are worshiped before God is worshiped.
Let us see current situation of some system. In Javahar Navodaya Vidyalaya teachers with their families are supposed to stay in school campus with students. They are provided all the facilities in the school itself. This is nothing but modern replication of Gurukul Paddhati. But the outcome is not at per what it was expected. Such a situation has developed that in spite of focusing for the betterment of nation by nurturing students, incorporating them with culture and sense of service and making them a good cultured person, all are specially teachers are spending their time always repenting for some bad governance. Teachers are complaining about the faulty system that they have to work for whole day but they are paid the same what the teachers of day schools are paid. They have to watch and handle all kinds of affair of the students, which distracts them from focusing on teaching and leave them with little time to prepare the lecture and teaching material for effective lecture in the class. I agree about the grievances of teachers. The pain, the sense of alienation and injustice they are going through must be noticed and taken care of which is not happening yet. Do that mean, teacher should stop their work, do they stop their godly job of making responsible citizens. Can such actions will help anyone? Absolutely not. But that will make the situation even worse. If they are realizing that there are problems, wrong done, injustice and they also strongly think that those miscreants, problems must be eliminated, faulty rules must be rectified and modified then they have to work with some motive. They have to work hard on the students as a mission and have to prepare them fighting against all miscreants so that in future others have not to face the problems. Building a good society takes time, selfless service and devotion for achieving goal. If we have determination then we can do without any formal resources.
See if all the teachers would have worked hard, if they would have some vision, if they would have suffered for national cause, then after the end of 20 years of establishment of 500 hundred navodaya vidyalayas across the country would have produced a pool of sensible engineers, doctors, IAS officers and other professionals who would have taken steps for changing the nation.
So I have some word for the teachers that you have already lost so many years, please be careful and develop some vision, work as a mission and imparts all those social sense among the students and make them able to achieve their goal which will help in developing beautiful society. If religious organization, if terrorist organization can sacrifice why not you for the sake of making a rational society.
Martin Luther King started raising his voice, he died along with many able persons for cause, for bringing equality, for evaporating hatred from a section of people against other sections of people. His death, his sacrifices didn't go in vain. Today the victory of Barack Obama is the symbol of the result for which those people fight and died. Nana Palkhiwala told strongly, "Keep your head and spirits high and carry the fight right up to the doorsteps of death- for death can only destroy the body- not your spirit".
